If you don't want to wait, then get the universal adapter as mentioned in the previous page.

I was worried about bumping the voltage selector and destroying my riva or losing the little tips, but I guess it's cheap enough I should give it a try.. ordered this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I5ERUW/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
 
edit: nevermind, a review says the item description is wrong and it doesn't have 19v.  I'll just wait until a knowledgeable user tells me the barrel size or riva support gets back from vacation

 

[moedawg140]

You were already given DC barrel size dimensions in the previous page from a fellow TURBO X owner, @salla45.
 
Not to put words into RIVA's mouth, but, this is the Labor Day weekend for the United States, so I would give it a few more days to give them a chance to respond.

 

[uncola]

he didn't give the barrel dimensions needed moedawg, he just measured the outside

 

[moedawg140]

Regardless, I found a standalone RIVA TURBO X adapter.  The internet is your friend - search, and you will find it.

sorry, what do you mean by barrel dimensions? I measured, using a micrometer, the diameter of the male shaft which enters the power socket hole in the back of the riva. I thought this is what you wanted?

 

[uncola]

salla oh I meant the inner ring diameter and outer ring diameter, that tells you whether it will fit in the plug...  most are 2.1mm inner 5.5mm outer.

OK sorry, I have a set of calipers somewhere, Ill try and find them tomorrow and give you an idea!
 
It's definitely 19v DC and 3.42a,  by the way.

Thanks Salla! You rock

no worries!

I ended up contacting Riva again and got them to sell me an official ac adapter for $30.  I have to say the riva turbo x is the most reliable bluetooth thing I've used.  Very easy to connect to, remembers last device for autoconnect etc.
 
It's on sale right now for $199 and the S for $149

Any comparisons of the turbo X to the turbo S, I am thinking of pairing it with a echo dot ,over buying a full size echo.

How does the sound / features of this compare to the JBL Xtreme? 
 
The JBL looks more rugged, and more convenient since it can charge via USB rather than an ac adapter. I don't really need the supreme ruggedness though.
 
Riva is less expensive, and based on some reviews, probably better quality sound.
 
Anyone have both and willing to offer thoughts?

2017 will probably be a huge yr for wls speakers.
wonder if at the upcoming CES show we'll see more stuff from Peachtree etc
...and a release date on the new Riva wand/festival series.
wish they had a distributor up here in Canada...would love to experience their sound.
